Attn shoppers: Triple feature

Post by Chris Brame »

Number 1: Four F-model trainers from Sioux City.

I went ahead and IDed them, correctly I hope:

Number 2: F-9 42-97177 (BA-177 buzz number on aft fuselage; taken in Manila in April '46).

I enhanced this one a bit:

Number 3 is a doozy:

Enhanced as well. My guess: Could this be B-17C 40-2046, late in the war at Chanute?

Happy bidding!

Yes, I ended up using the first shot for the (somewhat) sharper view of the buzz number.
We discussed 42-6030 a while back; looks like the exact same photo (same chips in the print):

Still wonder how it gained a chin turret (and lost a ball turret). No guns, either - weight saving for the long trip?
